Today, at the 35th edition of GITEX Technology Week, Intel launched its latest collaboration technology software: Intel Unite. This software is designed to bring together existing conferencing solutions, both hardware and software, into a simple and intuitive user experience. Intel Unite allows for an easy integration into existing solutions and environments with enhanced security and an extensible range of features.

Intel Unite provides its users with several advantages, most importantly conference rooms and meetings becoming smart and connected. Companies can benefit from wireless display for business, wireless docking, and enhanced battery life, which together provide a better work environment. With the new software, everyone, from across the globe, can interact with the content, annotate with the image in real time, and then quickly and easily share files.

With the combination of select Intel Core vPro processor-powered mini PCs and the Intel Unite software product, collaboration and meeting productivity is taken to the next level, transforming existing conference rooms into smart and connected meeting spaces with enhanced security.

Nass Nauthoa, Regional General Manager GCC, commented, "As part of our continued vision to help organizations transform their workplace, Intel is now offering software that enables a cost-effective and easy way for employees to collaborate and spend more time getting work done and less time fumbling with wires and equipment."

According to a recent survey, 62% of corporations are now undergoing a workplace transformation effort to improve the efficiency of their business through shared workspaces, collaboration areas, inter office mobility, and more.

Nass added, “With the workplace changing, businesses need to transform in order to foster innovation and beat competition. Intel is leading the way with technologies ranging from new wireless capabilities to business-ready form factors to leading-edge security to help organizations modernize and develop a better way to work."

With Intel Unite, meeting organizers share a unique, rotating PIN with users to allow them to join a session quickly, with security in mind. The PIN helps to identify proximity and owner, so organizers can determine who they will or won’t allow onto their corporate network. The data is encrypted with 256-bit Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) ensuring that it remains in the conference network. The solution stays within the virtual walls of your business and is not dependent on additional vendor solutions.

Sameh Helmy, Enterprise Technical Sales Manager, Intel, Middle East, Turkey and Africa, stated, “Intel Unite keeps ease of use in mind and is designed to fit seamlessly into existing IT client deployment models and client software distribution methods, making it convenient to the management. With Intel vPro technology built into the mini PC, IT can also control, patch and repair the device, even when the system is offline."

According to Hesham Tantawi, the Vice President at ASBIS MENA, "We are very pleased to partnership with Intel for the launch of Intel Unite which will enhance our software portfolio. I believe, it will be successful for ASBIS, and give added functionality to the corporate business across all countries of our presence. Primarily, Intel Unite is a perfect fit that will add value to our Prestigio MultiBoard Solution and elevate more conference functionalities to MultiBoard used in conference rooms where users can have video, audio collaboration and inking remotely."
